So, I got this idea stuck in my head about Conor McGregor’s glasses a while back. You see him, right? Press conferences, walking into the arena, always rocking some kind of statement eyewear. One particular pair caught my eye, can’t even remember which fight it was around, but they just looked sharp.
Naturally, my first step was firing up the old computer. Started searching around. Typed in the obvious stuff, you know, “Conor McGregor glasses”, “what sunglasses does McGregor wear”. And man, the results were all over the place. It turns out the guy wears a ton of different styles. Some are these big flashy gold things, others are more classic, some just plain weird.
The Hunt Begins
Finding the exact pair I saw was proving tricky. It wasn’t like searching for a specific phone model. This felt more like detective work. I spent a good chunk of time scrolling through images, trying to get a clear look at the logo or shape.
Found loads of articles and forum posts with people guessing. Some mentioned expensive designer brands. I checked them out. And yeah, expensive is the key word. We’re talking prices that make your eyes water, definitely not something I was planning to drop cash on impulsively.
Plus, even identifying the brand wasn’t always enough. Sometimes they’re custom pieces, or limited runs, or from seasons long gone. It’s like they exist just for him and a few other rich folks. Frustrating, you know?
Trying Different Angles
Okay, so the exact match was looking like a dead end, or at least a very expensive one. I started looking for similar styles instead. Things that had the same kind of vibe. My search terms got broader: “bold frame sunglasses”, “gold trim glasses”, stuff like that.
- Checked out loads of online shops.
- Looked at high-street brands.
- Even peeked at some replica sites, though I was wary. Usually, the quality on those things is just trash.
It felt a bit like that time I tried to find this specific type of work boot I saw someone wearing on a construction site. You see something practical and cool, think it’ll be easy to find, and then discover it’s some obscure European brand that costs a fortune to import. Same energy here.
Landing Somewhere
After all that digging, comparing shapes, checking materials online, I kind of gave up on getting the ‘McGregor’ glasses. It just wasn’t worth the hassle or the potential cost.
But the search wasn’t totally wasted. I ended up finding a pair from a completely different, more affordable brand that had a similar feel. They’ve got that bold look, a bit flashy maybe, but not over the top. They fit well, didn’t cost an arm and a leg, and honestly? I really like them.
So, what’s the takeaway? I guess it’s that chasing that celebrity style can be a real rabbit hole. You spend hours searching for something specific, only to find it’s impractical or crazy expensive. Sometimes, finding something ‘inspired by’ or just ‘good enough’ is the better way to go. Got myself some cool new sunglasses out of it, even if they aren’t octagon-walk approved. And hey, I didn’t break the bank. That’s a win in my book.
